There is great hardship in the Hindu Kush, a mountainous region in Central Asia. Earthquakes, floods, political instability, high inflation and rising prices are driving many people in need into even greater poverty. ACP has been able to help several thousand destitute families through various relief projects. Although many regions are inaccessible and closed, God has opened a door and created access to people in order to reach them with the gospel. With this project, we are supporting our local partners in printing a total of 10,000 Bibles and distributing them in high-risk areas, among other places. This campaign will strengthen persecuted Christians, lead new people to Jesus and establish churches. Above all, however, people should receive the Bread of Life (Jesus) so that everyone who comes to Him will never hunger or thirst again (John 6:35).

A Bible costs around CHF 13 from printing to delivery. The cost of transporting Bibles to high-risk areas accounts for a large part of this amount.

The supply situation in North Korea is dramatic. Various factors contribute to this emergency: The soil is depleted, there is a lack of fertilizer, drought and flooding have devastated crops, and the trade embargo and border closures further isolate the country from the rest of the world. Currently, about 11 million people (45% of the population) are malnourished and almost 20 million (80%) have an unbalanced diet.

ACP operates three bakeries and three soy milk factories locally and distributes the products to children in day nurseries, kindergartens, orphanages and primary schools. Thanks to this in-house production, 10,000 children can be provided with a meal five days a week. A meal costs CHF 5 per child per month.
